Very few young people develop dependency. Those who use drugs or alcohol problematically are likely to be vulnerable and experiencing a range of problems, of which substance misuse is one. This means that the commissioning and delivery of specialist drug and alcohol interventions for young people should take place within the wider children and young people’s agenda. The aim is that all needs are met, rather than addressing substance misuse in isolation; and that intervention is successful before problematic use becomes entrenched.ududYoung people and their needs differ from adults:ud•The majority of young people accessing specialist drug and alcohol interventions have problems with alcohol (37%) and cannabis (53%), requiring psychosocial, harm reduction and family interventions, rather than treatment for addiction, which most adults but only a small minority of young people require.ud•Most young people need to engage with specialist drug and alcohol interventions for a short period of time, often weeks, before continuing with further support elsewhere, within an integrated young people’s care plan.
